If Adam and Eve were the first 2 people here then how did their kids have kids?

Question

Is that not incest? Are we all really inbred? Are we all related somehow? They were white then how did we get black people and spanish and asian people?

Answer 1

obviously there was incest other wise the world wouldn't have been populated. It has been said all human race is the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve so I guess that would mean we are all somehow related. There are more important things happening in this world right now to worry about Adam and Eve and incest.

Answer 2

In the book of Genesis, when it talks about the birth of Cain and Able, the Hebrew textx have marks next to the names. These marks denote how many girls were born at the same time. Women at the time that Genesis was writen were basically second class citizens, much like they still are in the middle east, therefore were not mentioned unless they did something extrordinary. Cain had one twin sister and Able had 2.

Yes, they did commit incest with their twins to have more children. But God had not established a law against it at that time. If you make a copy of an original, it looks like the original. But after making copies of copies, after a while the quality degrades. Eventually God had to stop the degredation before it got too bad.

As for orher races, At the Tower of Bable, God separated everyone into lanuages....and created the races.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve had many children. They populated the earth up to the time of the flood and then God caused the flood to wipe out evryone except eight people. Noah, his wife, their three sons, Ham, Japheth and Shem along with ther wives. The law regarding incest did not come until later and scientifically there is a reason for this. Before the flood the environment of earth was radically different than it is today. If you look in Genesis you will notice that the earth was protected by a vapor canopy. The atmosphere is what was called the firmament which seperated the waters above from the waters below. The water above was held aloft by the layer of ozone material that is still present today. What this did was protect us from the UV rays of the sun, increased the barometric pressure, enhanced the photosynthesis process to the point that vegetation offered life an exponential amount of nutritional value unbelievably higher than what we know of today. It never rained before the flood. But where the bible says that the fountains of the deep were opened and the WINDOWS OF HEAVEN WERE OPENED the Lord caused a hole to appear in the ozone to let down the vapor canopy which protected life on earth. As a result life has had to endure ages of exposure to the UV rays and the impact can be seen by the differences in appearance of the many races of man on earth caused by both geographical location and its amount of concentrated bombardment of damaging rays, the altered
lifespans, and the failure of vegetation to adequately sustain us as it had before the atmospheric alteration. So to put it shortly, man is genetically altered from the man that he was before the flood. One thing that became neccessary was for God to institute laws concerning incest because eventually without the vapor canopy our closeness in familial DNA created a hazard to the creation of healthy human beings. The laws concerning incest were not neccessary before the flood because we were not quite affected in the way that we eventually were after years of exposure. The Hole in the Ozone layer is the scientific evidence of the opened window of heaven which destroyed the vapor canopy. As far as what race was predominate prediluvian is open to debate, but not really important to the message of salvation. Today there are really only two races. Believers and nonbelievers.

Answer 4

Incest

Answer 5

There's inbreeding going on no matter what you believe. In evolution, a species starts wtih a few individuals having traits that better enable them to survive. They will produce more offsping that survive better - and those survivors will interbreed. Over time the populatons will spread out and other genetic variations occur within the same species, skin and hair color for example. Genetic studies have shown we are descended from one female about 150000 years ago and and a male about 57000 years ago. That doesn't meat there wasn't any men before - just in several instances the population bottlenecked where humans were close to extinction - and then rebounded (more inbreeding) just more women survived these bottleneck than men.

Answer 6

religion, history, and science all tell us the same thing. A bad as incest is made out to be, it has happened and somewhere in our passed we all have ancestry that involves incest.

Also, why do you believe Adam and eve were white?

in the end certain genetic traits become desired or beneficial in a particular area and people from that area become visual unique in comparison to another area. at the same time with the advancement of quick and easy long range travel those unique traits are going away...

we are becoming economically and ethnically one people. its a slow process.

Answer 7

Adam was the first man loved by God. At the time Cain killed his brother there was a land called Nod populated with people. Its thought that Adam and his off spring were blue because his skin was translucent, why are there no blue people alive now? Wondering about the past to use it as a tool to get some intelligence now is a pre-occupation best left to the oldest person in your neighborhood and I elect you to recruite them.

Answer 8

God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply so they did... but after they populated the Earth the Great Flood came and Noah and his family had to start over again.... the different races came from the tower of babal when they tried to build the ladder to God... they all got zapped and scattered with different languages and races. Pretty neat if ya really think about it. I love reading the stories in the Old Testament.

Answer 9

IF and only IF you believe in the Biblical creation story in Genesis then yes we're all inbred and somehow we changed and mutated into different races mystically and magically . BUT if you look at other sources other creation stories and theories there are other explanations which are more (at least to me) plausible. The key here is not to rely on only one source for ALL of your information regarding this but too look at other sources as well. Perhaps then you will find answers there.

Answer 10

That's why the Adam and Eve story isn't true. The first person came from Africa and was a woman, and she evolved from another animal. Many many women came before the first man, who in fact came thousands of years later. After the first man, there were plenty of women out there, who had all been spread out across the world. That's why we have different cultures.
